Did you know the half listening world is sitting on its throne
Kings and queens judging you from home
And you’re the minstrel in their court
With looks like that who needs any support
Those lights that shined on you just masked the fucking truth

So play what they want to hear success is based upon your fear
Of consequences if the king does not approve
Then it’s back to the cell for you
And you’ll never make the music that you want to

I was told that music was the expression of one’s soul
I guess that means that yours was sold
The next ten years of songs have been written and if you get
A fat enough check you can buy yourself the next big fucking hit

I’ll play what I want to hear my passion lies in my own ears
In another year the king may draw his gun
Then it’s back to square one
And I could care less cause I’ve already won

I thought that music was an expression of one’s soul
I guess that means that yours was sold
And when you stand to sing it doesn’t mean a thing

Track Name: Such Gold - The World That You Live In

Well hey, how've you been?
It's been so long since you were a friend

All of these people inside a room,
pretend to care less about themselves than they do you.
When nothing else could be farther from the truth.
This is the world that you live in.

Well hey, when you said that the world was going to end
I don't think that's what you really meant.

All of these people inside a tomb
And they won't be coming back any time soon
Centuries of crawling backwards towards the womb.

I won't go, will you please. so please just leave me
Eaten, drowned, or diseased. Eternally.
So the next time that you see evidence of me
I'll be out on the sea with strength to be,
the man that I want to be.
And nothing that you think will make a difference in me.
Will make a difference in me.

Nothing that you say will make a difference in me anyway
And besides I know that you don't have to be.
Part of the world that I live in.
Fuck the world that you live in.

Track Name: Into It. Over It. - Washington, DC

Slumped down buried in a couch
Using old familiar methods to account for the evening
Safe for now and everyone's still spinning
I'll tell the tale than actually what happened

With a knife pulled on the back into the middle of a fan
A loose cannon of a man
With a knife poked in the back turn in the middle of a man
Who saw my face and ran

We could all sleep soundly
We'll travel, look the streets in the evening
At the thought of first impressions
Though they can be deceiving
So I don't hope I brag about people changing

With a knife pulled on the back into the middle of a fan
A loose cannon of a man
With a knife poked in the back turn in the middle of a man
Saw my face and ran

Drunken friend
Only alibi you'll need
Against my mouth
And the well thought out obscenities

We will stand your ground
If you don't really know how

If we flagged you down
You got out
Shined your lights and left

Flagged down
Got out
Shined your lights and left

We will stand your ground
If you don't really know how

Cause we flagged you down
And you got out
Got back in a drove away

We will stand your ground
If you don't really know how

We will stand your ground
If you don't really know how

We will stand your ground
If you don't really know how...

Track Name: Into It. Over It. - Portland, OR

At first I thought a girl like you
Shouldn't be seen with a miserable man like me
But it seems that once you've opened your mouth
Horrible things fall out
I guess I'd spoken too soon
I guess I'd spoken too soon

Cause a man like me
Didn't actually essentially endure the whole fucking country
To sit here and let you insult the way
I interact openly with my best friends

It's true I don't know how they talk down in Tucson
But you know I bet my bottom dollar that the people here in Oregon
Know a thing or two about respect
